Dear Friend: This is the 1945 Boiling Pot, which is the annual student publica­ tion of Kalamazoo College. From reading it I hope you will get a glimpse of the life on our campus and an indication of the fine atmos­ phere and tradition of which we are so proud. I hope you will find it both interesting and informative. Kalamazoo College is a liberal arts college offering courses of study leading to the degree of Bachelor of Arts. While it seeks to train young men and women in intellectual leadership, the College at­ tempts also to acquaint youth with the values of contemporary cul-· ture. To this end sound instruction in the humanities, the natural sciences, the social sciences, and the fine arts is offered, and partici­ pation in sports, forensics, dramatics, music, and other activities is en­ couraged. In order that the program of the College may have a vital rela­ tionship to the life of the community, varied contacts are maintained with the business world and with the world of cultural and civic af­ fairs. This basic kind of college education constitutes the finest pre­ paration for professional courses. Kalamazoo College is approved by the Association of American Universities, the American Association of University Women, and the North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools. The city of Kalamazoo is widely known as a center of culture in Michigan and the middle west. As a metropolitan area of seventy-five thousand population it contributes much to the life of the campus, of­ fers many resources which supplement the classroom experience, and provides numerous opportunities which go to making a well-round­ ed life for each student. Situated conveniently midway between Chi­ cago and Detroit, it has as its largest neighbors Grand Rapids, Battle Creek, and South Bend. A symphony orchestra of eighty pieces, a civic theatre which is nationally known for its fine productions, a lecture and a concert series each season, eighteen large paper mills, one of the outstanding pharmaceutical concerns of the country, and a wealth of municipal and social welfare organizations-these give an idea of the structure of the community's life.

Published by the STAFF and STUDENT BODY of KALAMAZOO COLLEGE Kalamazoo, Michigan

1945 4 5 In sincere appreciation . . . .

. . . . To an inspiring teacher

6 do ]Jr. JfliLton Simpson

We, the Seniors, dedicate this book of the year to the man who has inspired so many of us. His dynamic lectures have brought to life the writers of the centuries and their works so that the printed page has taken on reality. Stories of ages past have come to seem modern and our conflicts of everyday Ii fe have come to take their places with those of all the ages. We have been shown the inner springs of people through Professor Simpson's application of literature to life and we have been able to strengthen our understanding and faith in all peoples because of such teaching. We hereby extend our thanks to this professor who has given us much to remember and such essence of the past to take with us into the future.

37 38 39 We remember-yes, we remember well-Trowbridge House. The first of the year Mrs. Thompson graciously greeted us amidst shouts between the girls. "Hi-i-i, what have you been doing all summer? Why didn't you write?" Then we settled down, making frequent trips to the mail boxes, (dusting them out now and then), making plans for the teas and dances, and waiting for those phone calls. We remember when we had our Town-Dorm party which resulted in a race to see who could make the loudest noice or short-sheet the most beds we cleaned and scoured our rooms for Open House (even took the dust out of the corners) we had the Inter-Dorm Formal with the Hoben girls in Hoben Lounge we established the new tradition of the beautiful and impressive Firelighting Service which is going to be held on the evening of the first snow­ fall of every winter we put up the Christmas tree, the boughs of holly, hung obvious mistletoe in doorways, and opened Trowbridge doors wide for the after carol service Chocolate we had our Sunrise Lenten Services we had strict quiet hours (or else!) for the necessary purpose of cramming for exams we had those informal teas around exam time to give us enough energy to "hit the books" again we were all through finals, schooL and everything for the year but still decided to "stick around" for a few days to bid the school good-bye. All these things are ever present in our memories. We shall never forget the building-its homelike quality, those long steps going up (which, inciden­ tally, it has been proven, become 3 1/2 times longer if one is late). But I think, most of all, we shall never forget the girls we have known here. Yes, these things we remember.

Evelyn Burns - Belly Shayman President Shirley Evans Recreational Chairman Barbara Berk First Vice-President Ann Martin Freshman Representative Marilyn Sharp Second Vice-President Mary MacPhail Hoben Representative Belly Shayman Secretary Pauline Anlonnucci Hoben Representative Marian Hall Treasurer

MRS. FLORENCE THOMPSON Director of Mary Trowbridge House Charming. gracious, understanding, she is a real mother to the Trowbridge girls, and likes to have them stop in her apartment for a brief chat.

41 Remembering Hoben this year is a bit different than in other years there have been the giggling, fad creating, studying Freshman girls to give a feminine atmosphere to a heretofore strictly masculine dorm. They transformed the stern, unrelenting rooms of Hoben, North, into bowers of flowered chintz or striped taffeta with wiffs of "Tabu" and "Beau Catcher" and glossy prints of that inevitable pin-up boy, Van Johnson. They gathered in rooms to talk about life, helped each other get ready for dances, and three nights a week faithfully trudged down to study hall, their arms loaded with books and papers.

Hoben, South, retained its masculinity. There were the same spreads and drapes, the walls unadorned except for the usual Varga girls, maps, and K. College banners, the desks covered with books and a picture of the best girl. The fellows had their bull sessions, went to dances, and, much to their amaza­ men!, also had a study hall.

The central lounge was the scene of many a coffee hour, reception, and dance, and every night the meeting place of boy and girl crackling logs in the fireplaces someone lazily playing the piano a full moon seen through one set of long windows a moonlit Chapel through the other Hoben Hall. a place to remember.

42 MRS. HELEN WAGNER Director of Hoben, North Interested in her girls' social as well as intellectual lives, she makes them remember their social graces and study hours.

MR. BYRON WILLIAMS Assistant Instructor in Art and Director of Hoben, South A sharp wit and dynamic energy, he teaches his classes to design homes for tomorrow, does the sets for the one· acls and the May Fete. and joins in the bull sessions in Hoben. South.

45 We'll all remember Welles, the very center of life on campus. Here we eat our meals, meet our friends, take a few minutes of relaxation between classes, grab a quick coke at the soda bar, or stop for those "one or two" hands of bridge. The meals were especially delicious this year, when planned by our new dietician, Miss Catherine Ort. And that Christmas dinner by candlelight in a very beautiful holiday looking Welles, with a fire roaring and a tall, shining tree beside it. And the time one of the girls unknowingly got up with the rest of the waiters to sing her best wishes for her own Happy Birthday? And the way visitors always stare in bewilderment at the mural? And pumpkin face salads for Halloween? And the way everyone loves to sing "Mr. Moon" and "On a Sunday Afternoon" while waiting in line? And how khaki in the lounge was an oddity again this year instead of the general thing? It was amazing how the word always got around so quickly, "Cigarettes downstairs"-and everyone flocked down to vie for the "name brands." The juke box was continually blaring "One Meat BalL" while the festive air the hall took on for formal dances was a pleasant change. Yes, Welles Hall is certainly the center of friendliness on our campus­ and who could ever forget how many different things it has meant to each of us?

46 Remember Bowen, the administration building on the southeast corner of campus? It claims the dubious honor of being the oldest building on campus, having been erected in 1901. As we entered the door, the bookstore was on the right. Just two steps down to good books, all sorts of supplies from pencils to shoe polish, and smiling service! Up the stairs and to the left was the Business Office. And who didn't brave its depths once in a while? Further down that main haiL which was lined with important bulletins, was the Deans' Office. And there were times when one or the other of us was called into its inner sanctum-remember? And there were the biology labs, too-so absorb­ ing to the pre-meds and science majors, but oh so gruesome to some of us.

Up on the second floor were President Thompson's office, the Admissions Office, the Registrar's Office, and the Publicity Office. Mr. Colby, athletic coach and our new publicity director, made a big addition to his office when he put up his huge bulletin boards for publicity pictures. Was your picture ever there?

Up on the top floor we found a new addition in the fall of 1943-Mr. Waite's pride and joy-the radio room. The three societies had their homes on Bowen Third, too. Then there was the auditorium-scene of all assemblies, the bills of one-act plays, and the Green Room Parties.

How could we ever forget Bowen, our ad building and the center of so many campus activities?

Do you remember Olds with dull grey paint above the brick? That is gone now, and the halls have a new bright look with white paint. Or did some of the paint fall on your unsuspecting head? In the Physics Department-siren discs blow loudly, in octave sequences, when sound experiments are in progress; astronomy-the fascinating study of the earth in relation to the entire universe--trips out to look at the stars-gazing at the globe, maps, and slides; experiments in light; mechanical drawing, taught by Dr. Maxwell; and Dr. Hornbeck back on the job. Did you ever take the steps two at a time? Anyway, the Chemistry depart­ ment is upstairs. The freshman class, meeting in 30 I, looks strangely feminine to the older students, who remember a class of about one hundred students, at least half of whom were men. Glassblowing-where various queer-looking and queer-shaped objects are made; physical chemistry and quant.-too compli­ cated for most students; the individual labs where the chemistry majors struggle with mysterious unknowns. But it isn't a struggle to drink coffee, even if it is made in a beaker and mixed with a stirring rod! Up more stairs to the top floor and the organic and inorganic laboratories. In the organic lab one also finds the qual students-who mutter to themselves that someone must have tampered with their unknowns. Don't be frightened at the complicated equipment the organic chemists, with Dr. Meyers' assistance, set up-the product should turn out to be a dye-green, red, yellow, orange. Don't you remember seeing people with ghastly colored skin? It's they, putting most of the product on themselves. Across the hall the freshmen are learning the rudiments of chemistry, with the help of Dr. Stowe and Mr. Wood. And those who know insist that there is no better place from which to get a glimpse and picture of the campus, especially in the spring when the leaves of the oak trees make a framework for the buildings and the squirrels scamper about. than the windows of the second and third floors.

48 Remember Tredway? That one squeaky stair the box office window the ping pong tournament schedule on the wall Miss Matson's office with the trophies, the charts, and the scales the locker rooms with the banging doors and ice cold floor the shower rooms with roaring showers the gym and a basketball game on .the skid of rubber soles on the floor the thud of a ball against the backboard yells from the crowd when a basket was made the shortest team in the nation in there winning the Euros in their bright yellow sweaters selling cokes and potato chips a few couples not watching the game . the music rooms upstairs you could sit in the big front window and listen to Beethoven and Wagner by the hour Dr. Batts' office where he was most willing to help you solve a problem .All of these things make up that unique combination known and fondly remembered as Tredway.

52 Looking back over a busy year, we see the Alpha Sigs participating in varied and interesting activities. We remember one of our first meetings in the fall when we sat sprawled over the floor and chairs in our society room, writing letters to our brother Philos now in service. Later came the volleyball games and the tournament which we captured again. Remember the deciding game with the Euros and the refreshments afterwards? Then someone originated the idea of having Alpha Sig "Dickies," so we busied ourselves embroidering our blue emblem on the white collar. A nice sight that made, too, at our meetings and basketball games. At Christmas time we again observed our old tradition of caroling, and our harmony echoed over the campus as we serenaded faculty row and sur­ rounding territory. As soon as the new semester began, we, as the oth~r societies, turned our attention and ingenuity towards the pledging of the freshmen girls. Remember how we stayed up until midnight until "ye president" came back with the list of our new pledges? and how each one of us vied with the others for the particular stooge that we wanted? And then do you remember that beautiful Valentine banquet at the Co­ lumbia Hotel? How we stuffed ourselves on turkey with all the trimmings! It was our pledge banquet, so Dr. Meyers, our new adviser, had a chance to look over her eager advisees. Finally we had our chance to add a glowing touch to our pledging by in­ venting a new variety of initiation whereby the campus was overrun by a cow­ boy, a hula-hula girl, gypsy, cupid, and oodles of others all in typical garb. Yes, we think it has been a good year for our society, one full of fun and fellowship for all Alpha Sig members.

Philo's became active at the first of the second semester this year when officers were elected, and initiation plans made. In March, six new members were initiated into the society. They were Yosh Igarashi, Earl Fisher, Norman Brown, Ron Kurtz, Paul Hiyama and Len Colby. At one of the meetings this semester the name of the organization was changed from the Philolexian Lyceum to the Phi Lambda, which was adopted from the Greek letters that have symbolized the Philo group.

Because of the lapse in activities of all men's societies, the Philos have had to modify their organization somewhat. The usual "Hell Week," typical Philo initiation period, was done away with, and only a formal initiation was held. However, the close fellowship of the men in the Philos is just as strong as when the organization was first formed in 1855. Since then, the group has consistently maintained the close unity that prompted those first charter members to form a new men's society. With this spirit of "Philo Brothers" the Phi Lambda will continue to promote that brotherhood of scholarliness which has made the Philos consistently good "K" college students.

56 Xppi Pi Yes, we remember many little things about our society, especially some of the most vivid incidents. First, the Kappa Pi's are small in number, in fact, it is the smallest of the three, but that doesn't curtail our activities. In October, instead of the annual house party we had an all day picnic at a cottage on Gull Lake. It was unforgettable; we really enjoyed ourselves canoeing, hiking, eating and eating, and of course, a little "bridging." Then there are the regular business meetings with the usual bickering that occurs when women are de­ ciding important matters. Our programs this year have been of a literary nature with Dr. Simpson as our honored critic. Our most recent discussions consisted of a resume of Ibsen's play, "Peer Gynt," a brief talk on the life of Henrik Ibsen, an epitome of the life of Grieg, and playing of a recording of the "Peer Gynt Suite." And this year the Kappas had a different type of Open Meetings; it was based on the little things in life that mean so much to us, a rather personal subject so that the freshmen could get acquainted with us. Pledging didn't take place until the second semester and two weeks later the formal initiation ceremony was held in the Kappa room preceded by a formal dinner at the Columbia Hotel. Before the final ceremony of admittance, the pledges were subjected to the customary period of informal initiation when they had to perform a few distasteful tasks. This was climaxed by an informal meeting where the pledges displayed their various talents in a most hilarious manner. One of the activities we enjoyed most was visiting the returned veterans at the W. K. Kellogg Estate and Percy Jones Hospital. It was such a thrill to see our efforts appreciated and to know that we are adding that little extra some­ thing to help our fighting men. The preparing of a Christmas basket was a highlight in our program, aiding a needy family put real yuletide spirit in our hearts. All these are fond memories through the year with the Kappa Pies.

Century Forum, founded in 1900, was reorganized this year after a lapse of a year's inactivity.

Five members, forming a nucleus, felt that it was necessary to obtain new members so that the spirit of the Society would not die, and the returning men would find a functioning organization keeping up the ideals and activities that they had left. A successful membership drive was followed by a pledge dinner and an informal initiation.

The program for the semester includes joint meetings with the Kappas, spring inter-society dance, and a war-time version of the traditional steak-roast.

Do you remember "The Euro Frolic of 1905" or "How to Obtain a Mascu­ line Companion"? It isn't necessary to remember back that far, for that was the title of our Euro Open Meeting program, which was an old-fashioned melodrama, long before talking movies. The first big thing ""e Euros did this year was to re-decorate our room on Bowen third floor. The Alumni members of the society, remembering the good old days when they were in college and really members, generously contrib­ uted to the funds. In appreciation the girls honored their Alumni at a tea one Sunday in December. Did you miss any old text-books? Like the algebra book you used in high school, or your freshman rhetoric book? The Euros probably took them to sell. We will always remember going in a group to the basketball games in our yellow jackets. That is, all the Euros except those whose duty it was to work at the concession stand. All the members, though not all musicians, went down to Bronson Hospital in December to sing Christmas carols through the halls. Many were the smiles and expressions of thanks, especially from the Euro of the class of '89, who has been a patient there. And there was a gay theater party, when the group went down to see a real "melodramer" at a local theater; the affair was complete with peanuts and slacks. The old members enjoyed their initiation dinner at the home of alumna Mrs. Crawford so much that the informal initiation was held there again this year on Valentine's Day. All day we worked frantically, especially the kitchen crew, preparing the banquet for our pledges. We also prepared a gruelling list of initiation stunts. Yes, we'll long remember the Eurodelphian Gamma. "We Pledge Loyalty."

62 Sigma Rho Sigma, better known as the Sherwoods, began its ninety-fourth year of existence with only three active members. However. with the addi­ tion of a dozen initiates, the society again assumed its high position among campus organizations.

In spite of war-time restrictions the Sherwoods made the year one of its best thus maintaining its ranking as the most active, both scholastically and socially, of campus societies. This is in keeping with the traditions of Sigma Rho Sigma; traditions which had their beginning when this group founded the Kalamazoo College Index and Kalamazoo College Library.

The calendar of social activities was pleasantly full. While the traditional winter formal could not be held, chicken dinners made up for it. In place of the spring formal. an informal dance in Hoben was held in conjunction with the Philos and the Centuries. The year's activities were brought to a climax with a big picnic at Climax.

Remember those soaring omens? Those golden notes? The favorites, "My God and L" and "United Nations On Review"? They were the result of the hard work of the college choir under the direction of Mr. Henry Overley. This group has been active for many years bringing well loved music to the campus during chapeL special exercises, and programs especially their own. Remember the music floating out over the campus on a lazy afternoon as you strolled across a hushed campus? That was the choir during one of its bi-weekly reheasals. Over and over again they would do the numbers to get them to the state of perfection they wanted. Remember way, way back when the members of the choir piled into chartered busses to travel over the country to spread the musical culture of K. C.? Those were the days, and the group is eagerly awaiting the day when they can again set out on a notable tour. Remember that superb opera. "The Bartered Bride"? The choir put its all into that effort. This year they were hoping to undertake another one, "The Bohemian Girl," but the man shortage put an end to the plans. After the war they expect to give us another opera. Until then the choir will continue to make music.

66 We remember hearing about the famous Gaynor girls who gave out with gay music on the campus. Until this spring they were just a memory from other years, but with the man-power shortage causing the music department to give up the annual opera, the club was revived. Remember the day Mr. Overley held the first rehearsal of the new Gaynor girls, and all forty-two of them blended their voices in the music they were to sing at the concert to be given in Battle Creek on May 14th? And then the night of the concert rain and more rain pastel dresses becoming limp and wrinkled. But it was all good fun and the Gaynor Girls had a very successful concert of which to be proud. Remember hearing their songs floating across campus as they prepared their numbers for the May Fete? The May Fete was a grand success in which the girls played a large part. As the queen and her court came down the hill they sang the "Coronation Song" written by Mr. Overley. As the dancing and festivities continued they added color and music with a Pueblo Indian Lullaby, "The Second Minuet," "The Band Played On," "Surrey With the Fringe on Top," "The Holiday Song," "When Johnny Comes Marching Home," and led all of the college family in "All Hail to Kazoo."

67 Marge Collins, soprano, president; soprano Lorraine Kostelney, vice-presi­ dent; pianist Helen Butler, secretary; soprano Alice Bell, treasurer; pianist Shirley Evans and tenor Ronny Kurtz, program chairmen.

Remember going to Stetson Chapel the tirst Tuesday of each month for an Overley Society meeting? We rather missed not going to the South Street Music House but since there was such an increase in the enrollment of the music department this year, it was necessary to hold our meetings in the chapel. Remember how all we members struggled through our solos when it was our turn once during the semester to perform? It really wasn't too terrible and what a wonderful experience for performing in public. We also heard reviews of musical literature and musical coming attractions. Before the programs there was a business meeting and afterwards we enjoyed games and refreshments in Mandelle club room or Welles lounge.

We will always remember the tirst and last meetings this year which were quite informal. Mr. Overley, head of the music department for whom the Society is named, and Mrs. Overley entertained us in their beautiful garden adjoining their home in September and our last meeting was a rollicking picnic in Milham Park.

68 What shall we play next? How big is the audience? Do we play or eat first? Are they going to gab or listen to us? These typical questions remind us of the wonderful times the string trio has had playing for campus organiza­ tions and civic groups. For three years it included Martha Jeanne Exner. violinist; Ann Druliner, 'cellist; and Marilyn Hinkle, pianist. This year Marion Johnstone has been the able pianist. We owe a great deal to our director, Mrs. Baldauf. for her patience and skill. It has been fun playing for chapel services, the faculty-senior banquet. and Overley Society. We will probably always remember how that little black scottie startled us with his cold nose during the Christmas Carol Service. Our trips to other cities, and the change we have collected from playing for banquets are some of the experiences which are going to cause us to look back on our little group as one of our most helpful activities.

69 ceke Senate

One thing that always brings back pleasant memories is thinking about the fun we had at the informal dances held up in Bowen. They were sponsored by the Student Senate, as were other events like the annual Barbecue. The Senate also was responsible for the juke-box in Welles Lounge. The Senate is the student governing body of the College and holds regular bi-weekly meetings. It is the executive committee of the student body and consists of the elected officers and a representative of each of the classes and of all phases of campus life.

This year the elected officers included: Ed Lincoln, president of the student body; Eleanor Hootman, who filled the office of secretary-treasurer the first semester and upon her graduation in February, Leon Taylor, who finished the year; Hazen Keyser, manager of athletics; Betty Godley, manager of forensics; and Marian Hall, manager of publications. The representative of the Women's League was Edith Hoven and David Schram represented the Men's Union. The representatives of the classes were Tom Sugihari, senior; Bob Weimer, junior; John Swem, first semester and Earl Fischer, second semester, sophomore; and Robert Pease, freshman. Marge Kiefer has held the office of social chairman, Ronald Kurtz was the representative of the Student Committee on Religious Affairs for the first semester and Shirley White completed the year. Dorothy Jane Conner as editor of the Boiling Pot was also a member of the Senate. Dr. E. B. Hinckley is the faculty adviser of this group.

One of the memories that every girl in Kalamazoo College shares is the privilege of being a member of the Women's League and taking part in their many and varied activities. It is through this organization that town and dormitory girls may come to know each other and to work together. The "Big-Little Sister" program is first in the Women's League's attempt to promote unity and loyalty of all of the girls. It means a great deal to a "Little Sister" to have a "Big Sister" to look to for friendship and guidance. What girl will forget that "Big-Little Sister" party down in Hoben Lounge which climaxed the first week of school? The traditional Ginling Banquet is another of the 'all-girl" memories of this year. The purpose of this get-together is to raise money for Ginling College in China. Miss Yao Shen contributed much to the banquet as the guest speaker. After the Ginling Banquet all of the girls adjourned to a night's stay together in Trowbridge. The Christmas Carol Service represents one of the most important memories of the year. A truly beautiful occasion with all of the splendor of blended voices and warm music is this memorable service for all of Kalamazoo College. To further promote the Christmas spirit, every girl on campus made her contribu­ tion to the Women's League service project. This year the girls of the college gave their gift to the rehabilitating service men at Fort Custer. The Valentine Dance is another of the formal dances which came and went, leaving with us another memory of pretty dresses, flowers, soft music, and dancing. Concluding this organization's eventful year, was the long awaited May Fete with all of Spring's beauty as a background for this final remembrance of the '44_' 4S school year.

It's on the press we remember that those words were music to our ears after three short but frantic months of work we had finished it, The Boiling Pot. Now it was out of our hands The next time we saw it it would be as it now, and we would have only sharp and hectic memories. The last minute decision to have a year book the finding of the right theme the frenzied search for flash bulbs priorities on film endless rain the last mad rush to take the last pictures writing and proof reading the endless details of contracts and statements all that which had seemed so terrifyingly complex and overwhelmingly mountainous vanished into a memory full of excitement. work and, yes, fun. As The Boiling Pot goes to press we are not certain if it will reach you before the last exam is over. If it does not we extend our apologies for the delay. In any case we wish to thank all those of the campus family, faculty and students, who gave us much appreciated aid.

74 Sure, we all remember the Index. On Fridays we would always get a copy from Welles Lounge or from the stairpost at Bowen. Many of us turned to Oskar first. but others preferred the "gossip column," the news, or the editorials. Some of the features of this year's Index will be long remembered, like the "Campus Comments on the World at War," which carried so many of the students out of their ivory towers with regard to world affairs. Then the series on the lives of the different professors was certainly in­ teresting for we learned of their backgrounds, their hobbies, their former posi­ tions. The Index has made good use of the creative material of the students in the advanced writing classes. The gossip column always managed to have a clever twist with the latest news. "Oskar" went on us usual. His author remained a perennial mystery. We wonder who really WAS Oskar? We've been able to have the college weekly because of the untiring work of the whole staff. Many a Friday we waited with eagerness to find out the campus election returns and the other headlined announcements such as the spirit of Christmas, the May Queen and her court, the date for the Washington Dance, the score of the basketball game. The Index was always there with the news. Who was Oscar? We-e-l-l-l-l-it was the beautiful and quiet girl friend of the campus photographer. Yep-Barb Berk. Surprised?

75 StuJent eommittee on .J2eliqioWJ G1ffai/ls

We all remember a lot about the accomplishments of the Student Com­ mittee on Religious Affairs. But few of us knew who were the students who planned that work. Two representatives from each class and a chairman were appointed by the president of the student body, Ed Lincoln. Those for the first semester of 1944-1945 were: Ron Kurtz, chairman; Anne Martin and Beth Chatters, fresh­ men; Alice Bell and Watts Johnson, sophomores; Sally Smith and Elizabeth Seeley, juniors; and Shirley White and Charles Woodson, seniors. The second semester there were a few changes: the chairman was Shirley White; Elizabeth Seeley and Janet Ensing, juniors; and June Alyce Wilmsen and Charles Woodson, seniors. This committee was responsible for one chapel program each month, and assisted in sponsoring all student religious activities on the campus. Its members worked in co-operation with a faculty committee composed of Miss Donaldson, Mrs. Warner, Dr. Thompson, Dr. Hinckley, Dr. Dunsmore, Mr. Over~ ley, Dr. Cowherd, and Dr. Hightower. Among the chapel services which they planned were: a series of four, each one of which was presented by one of the classes, and those programs in which some of the pre-ministerial students participated. And who could forget the good hymn-sings which the committee arranged? In addition to these, the group sponsored the drive for the World Student Service Fund; a series of six meditations on the Friday evenings of Lent­ the early morning Holy Week services in Trowbridge; and had a part in plan­ ning for Religious Emphasis Week, when outside speakers were brought onto the campus for addresses and personal conferences.

Was that article just political propaganda? How shall I vote? What does Dumbarton Oaks mean? What can I do in politics? The answers to these and similar vital questions are what we hope to remember from Interna­ tional Relations Club. Dr. Cowherd is the faculty adviser for this group of students interested in becoming more effective world citizens. The club meets bi-monthly on Thursday night in the club room of Mandelle Library. Reviews of the books the group receives from the Carnegie Institute for International Peace, and informal talks by faculty and community leaders are part of its varied programs. We also enjoy our own discussions which the meetings often stimulate. Dormitory bull sessions often follow a thought­ provoking talk. This year the club gave a radio program on the significance of the San Francisco Conference for the Women's Action Committee of Kalamazoo. Be­ cause of the war, the midwest conference was not held this year, but in previous years one of the highlights was the sending of delegates to this meeting. We hope it may soon be resumed. We also hope that some of the answers we have learned may help to prevent a future war-time change.

Remember those grand Pan American Club meetings? They were really something this year. Perhaps it was because the club elected such interested officers. Perhaps also because the meetings, which were on the first and third Mondays of each month, were held in an informal manner in the Club Room. Remember some of their more special programs? Mr. Laurence Burdick showed colored films of Guatemala, with its quaint town of Chichicastananga, and then Mrs. Pringle talked about her nine and a half years on a plantation one thousand miles up the Amazon River. Later Senora Bebout, a native Nicaraguan, spoke about her life in Nicaragua. Don't forgeI, too, the Mexican Christmas Fiesta. The main event of this was the paper imitation pinata which was filled with candy and nuts. The Pan American Club sponsored a very lovely chapel program on the different religious legends and beliefs of several South American nations. Phyllis Ralston chose the Legend of Guadalupe; Marilyn Sharp, the Christ of the Andes; and Senora Bebout, a religious miracle of Nicaragua. We'll never forget Senora Bebout's beautiful rendition of the Lord's prayer in Spanish. Of course the most important day in this club's year is April 14, Pan American Day. Remember the colorful fiesta we held in honor of this day for which all the members dressed in gay peasant skirts and other Spanish costumes? We should consider ourselves lucky to have had two natives of Spanish speaking countries on the campus this year: Senorita Carmen Sanchez of Barcelona, Spain, and Senora Bebout of Managua, Nicaragua.

78 The members of Le Cercle Fran"ais are proud of the fact that they belong to the youngest club on our campus. Although it took definite form only in 1942, its young age has not hindered its continued growth in the least. Back in 1942, when meat wasn't rationed and butter wasn't 24 points a pound, the group held dinner meetings twice monthly at the homes of the various members, but this year dessert meetings once a month have been substituted. Whether it is dessert or dinner, the end result is still the same. It is much easier to eat and talk French at the same time. Every "reunion" of the Cercle Fran"ais is carried on in French with the exception of the business meeting. Not many meetings pass by without all the members gathering around the piano to sing "Chevaliers de la Table Ronde," or "Trere Jaques," or play bridge or French games. It has now become a custom each year to invite special friends of the club to join the regular club members for a special meeting. The purpose of Le Cercle Fran"ais is two-fold: to improve one's ability to speak French cor­ rectly and fluently, and to have fun doing it.

79 Yes, we remember the fun and excitement of being College Players. We started the year with a luncheon at which the new adviser, Mr. Waite, was introduced. Immediately plans were begun for the first dramatic work of the year. This was in the form of three one-act plays which were given January 18th in Bowen Auditorium. Another bill of one-acts, including the well known "Happy Journey To Trenton and Cambden" by Thornton Wilder, were given March 23 and 24. Twice during the year we welcomed into the College Players a group of newcomers whom we called apprentices. During the year they proved their worth and ability by working on the various shows. Following both bills of one acts the casts, student directors, and producers were honored at a real "green room" party. At the first of these parties the apprentices were awarded the points which they had earned. At the last meeting of the club the new College Players were welcomed. They were Earl Fischer, Jaccie Bowen, Jane Richardson, and Maxine Bailey. It was a year for us all to remember. A great deal of its success was due to the adviser, Mr. Waite, and the officers including the first and second semester Presidents, Eleanor Hootman, and Evelyn Burns; Vice-president, Dor­ othy Jane Conner; Secretary-Treasurer, Eleanor Brewer, and Recording Secre­ tary, Myrna Loth.

Remember the debate tournaments and oratory contests we used to have, and the extemporaneous ones when the participants were frantically getting a speech ready about an hour before the contest? Remember the trips to Berea, Ohio, East Lansing, Albion, and many other campuses? Even though there has been no forensic activity on campus this year and very little around the state, Pi Kappa Delta looks to the future. Pi Kappa Delta is the national honorary forensics fraternity on campus. 11 is made up of those students who have shown their interest in debate, oratory, extemporaneous speaking, or victory speaking. This last qualifica­ tion was added two years ago due to wartime activities, since there was very little forensic activity. The Michigan Chapter of Pi Kappa Delta belongs to the division known as the Province-of-the-Lakes. There is a Province-of-the-Lakes forensic tourna­ ment held on alternate years to which this chapter, the Alpha chapter, sends representatives who participate in debate, oratory, and extemporaneous speaking. Such a tournament was held in April, 1944, and it is hoped that there will be students sent again next year to this tournament to represent the college. This year the college chapter of Pi Kappa Delta includes six members: Jerry Richardson, June Alyce Wilmsen, Evelyn Burns, Bette Godley, Marilyn Sharp, and Marion Stutes. Mr. John Waite has been the faculty adviser.

Certainly I shall never forge I the impressive initiation ceremony of the new Alpha Lambda Delta members, on March 9, 1945. Following the initiation a formal banquet was held in Welles Hall in the evening at which time the new members were welcomed by the president, Florence Carlyon. The new members became acquainted with the society. They learned that Alpha Lambda Delta is a national freshman scholastic honorary society for women. It was installed on our campus March 5, 1942. Only those freshmen woman who attain a 2.5 scholastic average for either the first semester or for the entire year are eligible to join the society. They may be active in the organization for two years and are eligible for chapter offices while they are sophomores. However, their affiliation with the group is continued throughout college and after graduation. Alpha Lambda Delta stands for the highest in scholarship, womanliness and honor. The new members who were initiated last March were Marcia Clemons, Ethel Dimas, Joy Leach, Beth James, Betty KuenzeL Anne Martin, Caroline Richardson, Margery Sebright, Ardith Quigley, Myrtle Williams, Mary Lou Wilhielm, Patricia Thompson and Patricia Miller. At the banquet, Shirley Stevens was presented with the national award for the senior woman who has maintained the highest average for her 3Y2 years of college work.

82 Phi :](appa otLpha

Thinking back on this past year, we remember with pride those Juniors and Seniors who were elected to Phi Kappa Alpha, the highest honor society on campus. Phi Kappa Alpha was organized on our campus in May, 1940, by the members of the faculty holding membership in Phi Beta Kappa, Phi Kappa Phi or Sigma Xi. Its purpose is to promote and give formal recognition to high scholastic achievement among students. Only a limited number may be chosen, for it cannot exceed one-fifth of the junior class or one-fifth of the senior class, including those seniors who were elected in their junior year. The qualifications are based upon the academic records of the students for two and one-half or three and one-half years of college work. In the second semester the faculty members of the society make elec­ tions of the eligible students. The faculty members this year are: Dr. Stowe, Dr. Maxwell, Dr. Hornbeck, Dr. Meyers, Dr. Dunsmore, Dr. Bacon and Dr. Dunbar. We recall the initiation banquet April 27, 1945, at which time the new members received the society emblem, the Phi Kappa Alpha key. Those juniors elected this year were: Pat Kennel, Myrna Loth, Helen Place, and Mary Pratt. Those elected in their senior year were: Eleanor Hootman, Dorothy Baird Koehneke, Barbara Rasmussen, June Alyce Wilmsen.

83 And as a part of the impressive Honor's Day Program, on October 23, 1944, we remember the reading of the names of the students who had been elected to represent the College in "Who's Who." How envious we all felt! Dr. Hinckley's brief explanation of this recognition was made in a hush of silence. And then the names were read: Dorothy Chisholm and Priscilla McCartney, juniors; Barbara Rasmussen, Shirley Stevens, Janet HalL Edith Hoven, Evelyn Burns, Jerry Richardson, Kenneth Hardy, Marian Hall, and Eleanor Hootman, seniors; and June Alyce Wilmsen, who was again included in the list; she had been elected in her junior year. Applause, and a buzz of interest-so THEY were our "Who's Who"-ers. Talk afterwards made most of us familiar with the way in which the group is chosen each year. The quota for Kalamazoo College, it seemed, is set at a dozen. All the members of the faculty vote to choose the outstanding students from the entire junior and senior classes, though the number of juniors who may be named is limited to four. The professors make their decisions on the basis of character, scholarship, leadership in extra-curricular activities, and of potential usefulness to business and society. We were surprised to learn that "K" is one of about one hundred schools in the United States asked to supply names each year for inclusion in the volume. Each student whose name was sent in received a complicated questionnaire which, when filled out, served to give a pretty complete auto­ biography. In fact, it was the filling out which was the painful thing about receiving the honor! One "Who's Who"-er was heard muttering to herself. "What WOULD I do? What WOULD I do?" It appeared that one of the questions was this: "If you were suddenly to inherit $25,000, what would you do with it?" There were many questions of national import for the tabulation of college students' opinion in the annual book, "Who's Who Among American Colleges and Universities."

84 A ball room is nothing more or less than a great market place of beauty. Our Welles Hall is a wonderful ballroom beauty market. I can remember it was especially so on the nights of February tenth and twentY-fourth, for on these particular evenings were celebrated our annual Valentine Day Dance and the Washington Ball. These dances were prepared for by very efficient committees headed by Joan Shilling and Marjorie Kiefer respectively. The time consumed in preparing for a dance, the waste of thought upon it, the extrava­ gance of dress, the late hours, the exhaustion of strength, the exposure of health, and the languor of the succeeding day-these (and maybe more) are not reasons enough to discourage the Kazoo students from presenting grand dances. At both the Valentine Dance and the Washington Ball everyone seemed to have a merry, laughing, eating, dancing and unthinking time. All thoughts of books and pencils were left on the shelf and the most handsome clothing doned. Hoben men, town (male) students, beaus from back home, and Western Michigan V-12 men were the escorts of the Trowbridge, Hoben North, and town beauties. The side lights of Welles dining hall were camouflaged with red, while on either side Eddie Warner's orchestra were huge red hearts with paper lace edges. With the lights dimmed and the music just right our students paid tribute to the Valentine season and paid attention to each other (which after all is the purpose of the Valentine season). The mode of Washington's birthday dance was that of a New England garden. A vine entwined trellis and archway decorated the entrance. The stars were shining from the ceiling (an ingenious idea of Barb Berk's) and everything was festive. The orchestra (Eddie Warner's) was balanced by a typical 1776 New England kitchen with bellows, spinning wheel, etc., set around the fireplace. There were various colored spotlights played on the ceiling-oh, what a won­ derful effect (due to the hard work of Haz Keyser). Those who worked to make these dances a success were rewarded when they realized that their efforts were being appreciated, and they certainly were. So two more very successful dances were "chalked up" in the historical memory book of Kazoo College.

85 "Here they come" "Don't they look gorgeous" "Isn't the queen beau­ tiful?" These are the remarks heard as the queen and her court appear at the top of Chapel Hill and come slowly down the green to the coronation stand to the music of the Coronation Song written by Mr. Overley. Remember how clever and pretty the girls looked last year in the pictur­ esque costumes of other countries? The queen, Annie McNeil, was in tradi­ tional white satin while Betty Heystek, Marilyn Hinkle, Virginia Taylor, Sara Woolley, Evelyn Burns, and Edith Hoven wore the colorful dresses of England, Russia, Poland, South America, Czechoslovakia, and Holland. These costumes were a part of the general theme, "United Nations on the March," which was carried out vividly through the dances such as the South American "Samba," a Czechoslovakian polka, the Polish national dance, the "Dutch Fisher Girl," an English country dance, and the American square dance together with the music of the College Singers and string trio. The 1944 May Fete closed with the thrilling "United Nations on the March." Betty Shayman in white and her court, Evelyn Burns, Marjorie Kiefer, Laurene Wheeler, June Alyce Wilmsen, Janet Ensing, and Priscilla McCartney in pastels opened the 1945 May Fete, which wove its spring time magic into campus remembrances through the theme of "Dancing America." This theme was brought to life with the dances and songs of the Indians, Colonial period, Gay 90's, to-day, and tomorrow. We'll never forget the floradora girls! Credit for these gay memories goes to the Women's League, the general chairman, Miss Elizabeth Matson, and the music and art departments.

The officers for the Women's Athletic Association for the year are President, Mary Pratt; Vice-President, Janet Ensing; Secretary-Treasurer, Priscilla McCart­ ney; Recording Secretary, Barbara Price; Publicity Manager, Nanita Wetherbee; Social Chairman, Pat Miller. Remember the night of the freshmen party when all of the new girls were led blindfolded and shrieking through the cemetery and up the hill to gather around the cannon for games and food? That was only one of the good times the W AA had this year. In March the girls were invited over to Western for a play night at which they had a grand time playing hard, singing, and eating. This was a busy month for the Social Chairman who had to plan the annual mid-season banquet honoring the new members and those who received awards. Swimming was used as the theme of the affair and during the program the K College mermaids told some amusing details of their swimming trips. Fieldball, the first of the year's tournaments was won by the Sophomores. The Upperclassmen came back for a victory in volleyball. Not to be outdone the Freshmen came through and won the basketball tournament. So when softball season rolled around each class had won in an event and this last tournament would determine the winner of the W AA sports trophy. After a hard battle it was won by the Sophomores.

87 We will never forget those "K" College mermaids, Janet Ensing, Barbara Ensing, Jackie Buck, Francis Earle, Joyce L. Greene, Pat Miller, Joan Ackerman and Nancy Milroy who made up the girls swimming team. Janet Ensing was the captain and most experienced member of the group.

During their training period, the girls would spend two hours. four nights a week in the pool at the Y. W. C. A. Under the coaching of Miss Matson these girls became a very capable team. winning three out of four swimming meets. The schedule was as follows:

1. February 17, 1945-Flint Y. W. and Flint City Recreation at Flint. Kal­ amazoo won.

2. March 8. 1945-Universily of Chicago at Chicago. Kalamazoo won.

3. March 17, 1945-Bradley Polytechnic College at Peoria, Illinois. Kala­ mazoo won.

4. March 23, 1945. Crank Recreation at Detroit. Crank won.

Swimmin£j

88 Even a war couldn't take the sails out of Kalamazoo College's determina­ tion to keep tennis going at an institution which has become famous, not only for its academic accomplishments, but also for its tennis teams. Dr. Allen B. Stowe, director of the national tournaments at the college and coach of the college net squads, prepared a six-match schedule for a coed team. Players, left to right, are Phyllis Ralston, Peg King Staake, Mary Pratt, Jerry Richardson, and Joyce Greene. Results of only the first two matches, against Western Michigan and Grand Rapids Junior College were known before the Boiling Pot went to press. Kala­ mazoo defeated Western in a close battle, 4 to 3, and defeated Grand Rapids J. c., 5 to 4. Matches were played against Western four times and Grand Rapids Junior College twice. Lost from last year's squad were Harriet Stowe and Lida Stark. Miss Stowe, had she been available, would have been an important factor in the success of the team this year. Miss Pratt firmly established herself in the number one spot and at this writing Mrs. Staake was being used in the number two posi­ tion. Miss Ralston was holding down number three singles and Joyce Greene played number four. Jerry Richardson was used in number five singles and Lula Coolis played number six.

91 CAPTAIN HAZEN KEYSER

The year 1944-45 was a big one for Kalamazoo College basketball. The Hornets had a big season with probably the smallest squad in Kalamazoo basketball history in both quantity and size. With but ten players, Coach Len Colby and his basketeers went through a season which produced five victories as against nine defeats. At the beginning, Coach Colby stressed the fact that, with a male student body of something less than SO men, Kazoo could not be expected to be a world-beater among the cage teams of the nation, but the Hornets were playing good, clean basketball for the fun of it, win or lose. Thus launched a team and a season in which the midget hornets were sometimes outmatched, but never outfought. Starling in late November, Kalamazoo, taking on teams in its own class, rolled up a record of five wins and four losses by the end of the first semester. These included wins over Hillsdale and Grand Rapids, J. C. twice, and one over Muskegon J. C. Concordia College from Fort Wayne defeated the Hornets twice, and George Williams of Chicago, and Muskegon, in a return engage­ ment on their own court, administered the other trouncings. The George Williams game, and the accompanying trip to Chicago, was the highlight of the season. Kazoo played her best game here but was bested by a good G. W. outfit which boasted V-12 trainees. These first games were played with a line up which consisted of but three regulars from the year before. Captain Hazen Keyser was back at his old guard spot and Paul Hiyama, high scoring forward, was installed in his favorite position. Gus Birtsas, rugged ace from Dowagiac, who entered in the second semester of last year, won the starting assignment for center. At the other forward and remaining guard spot were two men who, though lacking in experience, won their berths through a display of team play and all around ability. Louie Spillers and Tom Sugihara rounded out the first five which, in experience and ability, looked like a winner. However, the Hornets were dealt a blow with the season but four games old when Hiyama accepted Uncle Sam's invitation to work for him. Bruce

92 Mason, Kazooite of other years and former football center, came in to fill the vacancy quite adequately. With Mason in at center and Birtsas moved over to forward, the Hornet five that finished the first semester was formed. Rounding out the traveling squad were some capable reserves in the persons of Harry Lieffers, Dave Schram, George Hopkins, called into the army before the Chicago trip, and Warren Wayne, ex-service man from Galesburg. At the opening of the second semester, Colby found that Bruce Mason was lost to the squad because of illness, and, even more serious, Captain Hazen Keyser, the team's mainstay, would be absent from the lineup because of eligibility rules. However, the situation brightened when Ross Herron, newly entered freshman basketballer from Grosse Pointe reported for practice along with Dick Ingersh also a second semester entry from Chicago. In addition, Ken Krum, whom Hornet fans of old will remember as being a member of the Kazoo basketball team of 1942-43, newly discharged from the army, was also on hand when the first game of the spring term opened. Meanwhile, Coach Colby had added to the Hornet's schedule for the second semester such teams as a strong Fort Custer quintet, which boasted a couple of former big time College stars, and the powerful live from Michigan State College, one of the top teams of the middle west. In all, five games were played after February Ist, two with Fort Custer and one each with Concordia, Michigan State, and Calvin. Unfortunately, all were chalked up in the loss column. At Michigan State, the team had opportunity to play in the huge Jenisson Field house against a team which had defeated the University of Kentucky, previously rated one of the top teams of the country. The Hornets were badly outmatched and came out on the short end of an 81-26 score for their efforts. Haze Kayser was avail­ able for this game, which did the Kazoo cause no harm. The Orange and Black wound up the season, losing a heartbreaker to Calvin, a team which refused to give up and came back in the second half of the game to trounce the Hornets after trailing the first period. At the close of the season, a dinner was held for the players and their guests, and letters were awarded. A fit­ ting tribute was paid to the team and their coach at this dinner by Doctor Allen B. Stowe when he said that he "had seen better teams at Kalamazoo College, but never one scrappier than this year."

PAUL HIYAMA, HIGH SCORING FORWARD

93 "The Shortest Team in the Nation" was an idea born when Coach Len Colby, who is the Kalamazoo College public relations director, noted that his team was composed of players all of whom were well under six feet in height. Most coaches stress the height aspect in basketball teams and strive for bigger players, but Colby, watching the midget Hornets outfighting their taller op­ ponents, decided to capitalize on their short stature. From "big" Gus Birtsas (5' II") down to little Tommy Sugihara (5'4"), the starting five, as pictured above, averaged only 5'8". This picture gained nationwide attention, appearing in over 125 newspapers throughout the country, and was seen even in Panama and Honolulu in English language newspapers printed there. Captain Hazen Keyser (5'6") is perched on the ladder. Others in the picture, from the left, are Paul Hiyama (5' 10"), Sugihara, Birtsas, and Louie Spitters (5'9").

94 THE DEATH OF THE PRESIDENT

On April 12 the whole world was deeply shocked at the news of the death of Presidenl Roosevelt. The United Slates felt that iI had lost a very imporlant guiding hand. The college as a part of the country felt this loss also. The flag flying at half mast atop Bowen symbolized that feeling of great loss.

V -E DAY

Monday. May 7, was a day which we had all been looking forward to for a long time. It was the day when the German nation formally surrendered to the allied forces in the signing of a document al the "lillie Red School House" at Rheims. The campus had a holiday, which began seriously and soberly with the gathering of the student body to hear President Truman's mes­ sage to the Nation at 8:00 A. M. over a radio in Bowen Auditorium.

LTHE larger sense, freight-carrying ships, trucks and trains J are but self-powered containers for whatever they are carrying. And within these larger containers must be hundreds and thousands ofsmaller containers protecting and keeping clean or dry or moist the goods of war and peace. After Pearl Harbor. 1941, many of the materials from which these smaller containers were normally J fabricated, marched straight off to war. This left paperboard with a Herculean packaging job to do. And in the months passed, paperboard has met the challenge! From eggs for England to bomber parts for blasting Berlin,paperboard has proved itselfin strength, protective qualities and economy. Here at Sutherland ... where paperboard can be shaped into many sizes and forms, paraffined for safeguarding perishable foods, laminated for special protective qualities, J printed for beauty ... scores of new packages have been developed during the past year ... and put into production to help solve the supply problem.
